Dave Lidy talks dairy nutrition in Progressive Dairyman

February 19th, 2010 by Karlie Justus

Our friend Dave Lidy, a nutrionist from Greenvillie, Ill., is featured in the Feb. 9th edition of Progressive Dairyman. You can also find his article ‘Their worst feed is better than average TMR’ on the Progressive Dairyman Web site.

The article profiles the work Dave has done with Thole Ag Inc. in Aviston, Ill. According to Dave, cow comfort and high-quality forages are two fundamental prerequisites he suggests of his clients, and this dairy does a great job at both.

Check out Conversations: Questions to ask your nutritionist about corn silage on the Eastern DairyBusiness blog.
